First published in 1950, this was a new work by Charles Baudouin,
world-famous French psychologist and takes its title from the
opening chapter, which examines the transformation of the myth of
Progress, characteristic of the eighteenth and nineteenth
centuries, into the myth of Modernity, characteristic of the time
of writing. The author has little sympathy for a development which
he regards as essentially vulgar; the myth of Progress, he says,
had its aspiration and gave man reasons for reaching out for better
things, but the myth of Modernity 'seems to give humanity reasons
only for fleeing from itself, reasons for unhappiness, inasmuch as
the man who runs away from himself is an unhappy man'. This chapter
is characteristic of those that follow - on Baudelaire, Verlaine
and other literary topics; on Art and the Epoch, The Prestige of
Action, Technique versus Mysticism, Opinion and Tolerance, etc. A
broad humanity and a gentle irony are the characteristic features
of this simulating book, now available again to be enjoyed in its
historical context.
Originally published in 1924, this title is divided into four parts
each looking at contemporary issues of the time. Beginning with
'The Liberators of the Mind' the author discusses important
thinkers of the time, such as Tolstoy and Nietzsche. The second
part looks at 'The War and Peace' which refers to the recently
fought First World War. He then moves on to 'Education and Society'
where discussions include Bahaism and Father Christmas. The final
part looks at 'Art and Criticism' discussing the trends of French
post-war poetry - realism, symbolism and dynamism - followed by a
look at dynamic drawing. Available again after many years out of
print.
Originally published in 1922, this title was intended for the
expert and for the general reader. The original blurb states: "As
far as the general reader is concerned, there does not yet exist a
volume which gives a straightforward and thoroughly comprehensible
explanation of the leading methods and theories of psychoanalysis,
in conjunction with an exposition of the philosophical,
educational, and general psychological bearings of the doctrine.
But the author's main object is a practical one. 'The method to
which experience has led me, and whose results are here recorded,'
writes Baudouin in the first chapter, 'is founded upon unceasing
collaboration between autosuggestion and psychoanalysis. Whether it
be heretical or not, I am confident that immense advantage can be
derived from such collaboration.'"
This title, originally published in 1920, second edition in 1924,
has been largely forgotten in the history of hypnosis. Charles
Baudouin's first book, it is an important account of the early
theories discovered by the New Nancy School, widely recognised as
the founding school of modern day hypnosis. The author provides a
detailed discussion of autosuggestion, as well as providing some
practical suggestions.

Originally published in 1924, this title is substantially a
continuation of Baudouin's earlier work Studies in Psychoanalysis,
being an application of psychoanalysis to the theory of aesthetics,
as illustrated by a detailed study of the works of the Belgian poet
Emile Verhaeren. The 'interpretation' Freud has supplied for dreams
Baudouin attempts - and archives - for the imagery of the artistic
creator. The work is in part based upon private documents supplied
to the author by Madame Verhaeren, an autograph letter, and a
previously unpublished poem.

Originally published in 1933, the author's ambition was to depict
the child mind as revealed to us by psychoanalysis. It was not
intended to teach the technique of psychoanalysis as applied to
children or to formulate a methodology of education. The author
starts by defining the concepts of psychoanalysis and children from
his earlier title, dealing with psychoanalysis in relation to
education: fundamental mechanisms; complexes; typical disturbances
and methods. In this title he chooses to focus on complexes which
he believed was 'the heart of the matter'. A great opportunity to
read an early interpretation of psychoanalysis and its application
to children.
The author states here that Tolstoy was a great educator and his
views on education were ingenious and profound. Despite being a
great artist, Tolstoy also had pedagogic method and drew abundantly
on the stores of science. The book looks at articles which Tolstoy
wrote on education and childhood, comparing him frequently to
Rousseau, and also outlines the influences of his travels which
informed his knowledge of contemporary schooling. The conclusion
considers the development of Tolstoy's thought on teaching
alongside the state of education at the time the book was first
published, in 1923. This will be of interest for the educational
historian as well as those interested in Tolstoy himself.
